submit overview

Bring the work. We’ll meet it seriously.

Burnt Honey accepts women-made comics, manga, animation concepts, art books, illustrated stories, and other visually led work. This page should answer what belongs here, what we need from you, and what happens next.

before you submit

Clear files. Clear voice. Clear ownership.

Your submission flow should feel welcoming, but the requirements should still be specific enough to make review clean and fast.

What Burnt Honey is looking for

These categories define what the upload system needs to support first. Keep them focused now, then expand later once the workflow is stable.

Comics + Manga

Sequential storytelling, page samples, chapter proofs, pitch decks, covers, and character work.

Animation

Concept frames, animatics, short-form pieces, visual development, and animation project pitches.

Art Books + Visual Projects

Illustrated books, curated visual narratives, collections, and format-flexible creative publishing work.

what happens next

The flow after submission

This is the backbone of the dashboard and admin review system.

1. Saved

The creator starts a submission, uploads files, and saves a draft inside their account.

2. Submitted

The creator sends the project for review and the status changes from draft to submitted.

3. Reviewed

Admin can mark the work as in review, accepted, declined, or needing changes.
